A Cue For Happiness

Coroner Instead Of Genius Doctor

offered a hundred million?”“He wants to buy my conscience with just a hundred million? He’s willing to lose his conscience for money over the years, though! A b*stard like him is the one who is afraid of death the most!” A contempt-filled glint flashed across Natalie’s eyes as she threw the hyper-realistic mask on the table.“Mommy, is that the reason you decided to come back and act as a coroner instead of a genius doctor?”“Humans are always greedy. Even though doctors are never omnipotent, some people think that they can ask the doctors for the impossible as long as they have money. I’d rather speak for the dead than cure those people.” Natalie did not deny it.“Mommy, I love your sense of justice!” Xavian’s face was full of admiration for Natalie.Upon hearing that, Natalie smiled and replied, “Of course. Who doesn’t like me?”When Xavian looked at Natalie’s face without the hyper-realistic mask, he subconsciously thought about the clingy little girl they met at the airport.“Mommy, the little girl who clung to you today looks kind of like you…”“Is that so?”Inevitably, Natalie recalled her own daughter upon hearing that.Five years ago, after she gave birth to a pair of twins, the twins were taken away by Yara immediately.With Yara’s hatred for her, the odds that the babies survived were slim.Her heart pounded when she thought of it.Is my daughter around the same age as the cutie I met at the airport today if she is still alive?The next day at around five in the morning, Natalie was awakened by a phone call.She answered the phone in a daze, and an older man’s voice could be heard from her phone.“Natalie, sorry to send you on an errand before you’re officially on duty.

I’ll be there in fifteen minutes.”Shortly afterward, she rubbed her drowsy eyes and got up from the bed after she tucked Xavian into bed.Then, she wore the hyper-realistic mask that was full of freckles after a quick wash. The beautiful face reflected in the mirror changed into a plain woman’s instantly, with the exception of her glittering eyes.In less than fifteen minutes, she arrived at the scene.The scene was blocked by the cordon, and a police officer in his uniform stopped her in her tracks.“Lady, the road is blocked. No outsider is allowed to enter.”“I’m Natalie Nichols, the specially-appointed coroner by the Major Crimes Unit of Dellmoor.” Natalie took out an identification card and passed it to the police officer.After he took a glance at the identification card, his expression immediately changed when he looked at her.The specially-appointed coroner was not under any of the Major Crimes Unit system or department and only took orders directly from the chief of police. Furthermore, she would not receive any orders from them. Instead, she was the one who would give them orders.She frowned at him when she realized that he had not returned to his sense.“Excuse me, can I enter now?”“Of course. This way, please.” He saluted at Natalie and let her enter.When she reached the riverbank, she saw a few plastic bags on the ground, and one of them was opened. The plastic bag was full of
